What Is Happiness ?

Happiness is a feeling. Feeling of Joy, Satisfaction & Contentment. These are actually synonyms for Happiness.

There are a lot of different resources of happiness for different people. For example: Money, Love, Friends, A Hobby, Achievements, etc.

Reason for someone’s happiness can be reason for someone else’s Unhappiness. That’s how complicated Happiness is.

For example: Working out can be a reason for someone’s happiness while for others it is a painful & uninteresting thing to do.

I hope you get my point here. The point is Happiness differs from person to person.

Why Are Most People Unhappy?

From the response of question asked in the beginning , we can say that lot of people are not happy with their life.

Even if they are , there might be something which they want to do to be more happy. They feel somewhere they are lacking.

Why ?

You’re Not Who You Want To Be

We all have an ideal personality of ourselves in our mind. It’s the person you want to be. That person has all the Skills you want to have. He/she is the best version of yourself and that’s what you want to be.

For example:

You’re person with a lot of Insecurities & fears. So who you want to be is person who is Confident & Fearless.

Not Where You Want To Be

Well, not physically. It’s like a position where you want to be. Maybe Financially , Emotionally, Even Physically. Confused?

Let’s take an example:

Suppose you are getting rejected in interviews & you’re about to be broke. So you where you want to be is at “A Good Paying Job”.

Another example.

You had a breakup (Ugh. Breakup again?). Anyway ,so you’re trying to get over that breakup & move on with your life.

So here where you want to be where you no longer care about your past & you are happy with whatever you have at that moment.

I hope it makes sense now.

How To Be Happy ?

To be honest, I don’t know.

The thing is there is no specific definition of Happiness. Every person has a different definition of Happiness.

Some people may find happiness in going out while some may find it in being at home.

Some people may find happiness in Luxury while some may find it in Minimalism.

Some people may find happiness being with someone while some may find it being one themselves.

You see that? It’s all confusing.

So I can’t tell you like “Do This 5 Things & You’ll Be Happy“. I really can’t.

Then who can tell you How to be happy?

Only you can tell yourself. No one else can tell you how to be happy.

So first of all get to know yourself. Try to find yourself. Find out who you want to be. Find Out where you want to be.

Do the things that makes you happy. Just the way you do things for your loved ones to make them happy , do it for yourself.

Make yourself Happy.

Fulfill your wishes.

Achieve your Goals.

Reward Yourself

&Love Yourself.

Hello , If anyone wants someone to talk to or wants to suggest me topics to write on then feel free to reach out.

For me happiness is a feeling of being content…
Feeling of being content comes with satisfaction.
So one must to learn follow his/her dreams to satisfy the desire because in the absence of the fulfillment of your desire you will always find your self unhappy..
So follow your Dreams and cheers!!

I believe that happiness comes from true expression of emotions. When we express ourselves naturally and not try and hide anything then we will be happy in the end but all emotions are fleeting so we can’t always be happy all the time but we sure will have our moments.

Loved the post and the topic! Happiness is simple but not easy, as some say.
I’m preparing a book on happiness based on daily exercises. I’m thinking of letting people try it out before publishing. Would you like to give it a try? The trial starts on the 1st January with one exercise per day until the end of the month and I will be featuring everyone that participates (in the book and online) 😘

Inspiring post 🙂 I believe happiness is not a constant state you can be in, more like it comes in waves. Sometimes I am happy, sometimes I am not. Which is also good, because the bad moments in my life make the happy moments so much sweeter!

Yet, I believe in following your dreams and trying to achieve a happy state for as long as you can keep hold of it!

I have found it’s important to avoid having unrealistic expectations of what happiness is supposed to be. What makes you happy, what generates the warmth and glow in you may not be the same for everyone else. As you mentioned, happiness does not have a uniform definition or feel the same for all people. For me it’s usually with the warmth that comes from love and it goes from there. The love of what I’m doing, who I’m with for example.

Hi Sumeet! This is the most realistic post I’ve read. 😄 The one time where you said that I can’t tell you how to be happy, haha, I agree, happiness is variable for everyone. Me making comics makes me super happy, but makes my Papa unhappy that she’s wasting her time in useless stuff. 😹
This post is very inspiring. Thankyou for sharing. ☺💙
